ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is twofold. First, I consider the importance of race in the 50-year history of the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition (LCHC) as described in the LCHC Polyphonic Autobiography (LCHC PA). I point to the timeliness of the work of the LCHC and, in particular, to LCHC’s consistent and enduring concern with ecological validity and with the method of ethnographic psychology (or experimental anthropology). In addition, I briefly consider how some contemporary LCHC concepts can help us explore why the category of race has had such a hold across historical time.

LCHC自传中的竞赛：过去，现在和未来

摘要

本文的目的是双重的。首先，正如LCHC复音自传（LCHC PA）中所述，我认为种族在比较人类认知实验室（LCHC）50年历史中的重要性。我指出了LCHC工作的及时性，尤其是LCHC对生态有效性和民族志心理学（或实验人类学）方法的一贯和持久的关注。此外，我简要地考虑了一些当代LCHC概念如何能够帮助我们探索为什么种族这一类别在整个历史时期一直如此重要。
